> [hbase] Make cache flush triggering less simplistic
> ---------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HADOOP-2636
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2636
> Project: Hadoop
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: contrib/hbase
> Reporter: stack
> Assignee: Jim Kellerman
> Priority: Minor
>
> When flusher runs -- its triggered when the sum of all Stores in a Region > a
> configurable max size -- we flush all Stores though a Store memcache might
> have but a few bytes.
> I would think Stores should only dump their memcache disk if they have some
> substance.
> The problem becomes more acute, the more families you have in a Region.
> Possible behaviors would be to dump the biggest Store only, or only those
> Stores > 50% of max memcache size. Behavior would vary dependent on the
> prompt that provoked the flush. Would also log why the flush is running:
> optional or > max size.
> This issue comes out of HADOOP-2621.
